Beads Formula Builder

Use this skill when a workflow repeats often enough that prose runbooks are no longer good enough.

Outcome rule:

  • encode the workflow shape, not every transient detail
  • make gates explicit
  • leave examples that can be poured or adapted later

Workflow

  1. Read references/formula-design-rules.md.
  2. Load references/workflow-templates.md for the closest pattern.
  3. Identify:
    • the parent outcome
    • child work packages
    • dependency edges
    • human or evidence gates
    • dry-run validation points
  4. Produce the formula or template plus one concrete example.

Design bias

  • start with epics and bounded child tasks
  • use gates at points where bad automation would be expensive
  • keep rollout workflows canary-first
  • keep investigation workflows evidence-first

Validation

Prefer to show how the workflow would be exercised with --dry-run or equivalent validation rather than claiming the formula is correct by inspection.
